Day one of the 31 days in Proverbs. The first chapter introduces us to God's view of wisdom and his expectations of us in seeking wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 is a great verse to memorize as it says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
Solomon is such a great writer. In Proverbs 1:20-33 he provides a great description of wisdom. It is poetic, yet powerful. Making wisdom like a person, she cries out for us (vs. 20,21) and when we reject her for our simple ways (vs. 22) she laughs at our calamity (vs. 26). These verses are a great reminder of how we should cherish God's wisdom. I pray that all of us seek God's wisdom, and do so diligently.
I hope this text speaks to you and encourages you to continue on a journey of learning about God. Thinking and learning are essential to understanding God, which is why we are to love the Lord with all our mind (Luke 10:27). God loves it when we think and dwell on Him because he can reveal to us Himself even more!
